2013 – A Season In Song: Round 7,8,9 – An Early Bye

With Champy away on assignment for a few weeks, it wasn’t until after Round 9 that the next batch of tunes was offered.

Despite the triple entendre of the Bombers/Docklands related tune, it passed unnoticed by the selectors, as did my “change trains at South Yarra” attempt to repeat the earlier success of “Frankston Line”, even though I was smugly proud of the “… Hampton not Highett …” reference.

I started noticing that Greg seemed to have his favourites/regulars who got a guernsey every week; had I been rewarded enough, or had the coach stamped my papers already? Had I squibbed it at a crucial contest, and would I pay for it for the rest of the year?

The sad lament of an Essendon supporter lost at his own home ground

I’m up on the bridge
Looking over the platforms
I’m at Spencer Street
The buildings so high
I’m not sure where I go
Someone help me please
